Its a locally developed, long-term, annual academic goal that teachers set forth for groups of students Its a SMART goal (which we have been doing S.B. for many years).
Specific Measureable Achievable but ambitious Rigorous and related to standards (curriculum) Time-bound (between 2 points in time)
Note: Progress toward SGOs must be determined by March 31.
For the 2013-2014 school year, 100% of the first grade students will make measureable progress in their grade level math unit on Number Sense. Furthermore
At least 75% will pass the End-ofUnit Math Assessment. And, those who do not pass will make gains of at least 25% on the

2 for all other teachers 1 for all education specialists
Supervisors will partner with selected teachers to draft SGOs to share with the broader community of teachers Principals have approval on the final SGOs
Grade 3
TBD: Reading SGO (perhaps using running records) or a Writing SGO (using pre/post writing sample scored with the NJ Rubric) Math SGO using District End-of-Unit Tests
Note: For tested areas where class size falls below 20, both the ELA and Math SGOs will be applied
Play Time:
Pretend we have a School-wide SGO.
